The Spring Bluff R-XV School District is a public school with an extra-special commitment to the quality of education of each child. The Spring Bluff R-XV School was fully accredited by the Missouri State Board of Education following the completion of our Missouri School Improvement Review in the spring of 2002 and received a full waiver in the spring of 2007. We received the “Distinction in Performance” award each school year from 2001-2002 to 2008-2009. Only 32 school districts out of 524 in the state of Missouri have achieved this distinction all 7 years. The award is based on our Annual Performance Report which is tabulated each year by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

The criteria used for the Annual Performance Report and for accreditation standards for a K-8 school district include MAP test scores, attended rates, and the grade point average of our high school students. Spring Bluff R-XV School District has been ranked in the Top Ten schools in the state of Missouri five out of seven years due to our students’ continued performance on the MAP test in the areas of Communication Arts, Mathematics, and Social Studies. We have been listed on either or both of the Highest Performing and Most Improved lists at the third, forth, seventh and or/eight grade levels during each of those seven years.

These examples, in addition to the superior performance of our high school students, are important factors in our district receiving accreditation. Parents, students, The Board of Education and school staff share the credit for these accomplishments. The Board of Education and community place the highest of priorities on a quality education for all Spring Bluff R-XV students. This constitutes to be our focus as we being this new school year.
